700 tenon thread diameters

I have a Remage barrel I was just putting on. When I screwed the action almost to the recoil lug I could feel the play up and down in the tenon threads. This action has not been trued, and has burnt out several barrels, as well as having a rotation of three other barrels I switch back and forth on it currently. None of them do this. I just measured the major diameter of the tendon thread and I am getting 1.059-1.060. I don't have ring gauges or micrometer , but when I put my caliper in the groves looking for the minor diameter I get 1.004. I measured both with two different calipers. This is unsafe and I should be returned correct?

The muzzle threads are so big my QD attachment also has to be turned on with wrench from about half way. Again none of my other barrels are like this. This barrel is a replacement for a barrel that the muzzle thread cut way undersized for a 5/8/24. With the muzzle device almost at the shoulder you could wiggle it up and down on the threads.

I don't mean by grabbing the end away from the threads. I mean if you grab it by the shoulder over the threads, you can fell it move up and down. For both.

SOLD Rare Noveske Project Ares

B4D42327-1030-411A-B027-B4F44B5772F1.jpeg

Noveske Project Ares rifle - $2800 shipped Sold

More Pics

I am parting with a very rare Noveske Project Ares — the only Noveske factory rifle to use a Knights Armament rail and one of last rifles released while John was still alive. I emailed Noveske about some original build info since it's missing the original signed/dated certificate these came with, and learned this rifle was completed by them on 12/12/2011 and the barrel serial # matches their records for the original build.

Original rifle specs:

14.5” 1:7” mid-length gas stainless barrel w/ Mod 0 5.56 match chamber

AAC 51t blackout pinned to 16” non-NFA length

Gas block is pinned & barrel has black KG gunkote finish

KAC URX2 rifle length rail w/ integral front sight

KAC micro 600m rear sight

Noveske-marked Vltor upper

Noveske forged Gen 2 lower

Geissele SSA-E trigger

Noveske qd endplate

This is a gen 1 Project Ares rifle which uses a forged gen 2 lower receiver. The rifle has ~400 rounds through it per the original owner and is original except for the following parts — charging handle changed from Noveske/Vltor raptor to PRI gasbuster, stock changed from B5 Sopmod to Magpul STR and grip changed from Magpul MIAD to Tangodown BG-16. I have fired exactly one magazine through the rifle since I bought it and am the one who swapped out the parts, except for the stock. The rifle is in great condition, mostly showing just normal light wear from use and safe storage. The only notable cosmetic flaw worth mentioning, not from normal use, is where the previous owner tightened down some unnecessary screws in the sides of the KAC rail, leaving marks in the finish of the counterbores for screw heads in the rail (pictured).

Make sure your FFL will accept a shipment from an individual, otherwise you will need to cover the cost to have it shipped from an FFL on my end.

USPS money orders preferred, but I can also do discreet PayPal friends & family. The rifle will be sent via shipmygun.com w/ full value insurance.

Optics WTS NF ATACR 5-25 Mil-C

NF ATACR 5-25 F1 Mil-C. Sun shade, caps, tool and windage ring in the box. I can’t seem to find the manual. 2350 for the ride pay pal, friends and family or add 3%for goods and services. I would trade for an ATACR 4-20 Mil-XT or possible a ATACR 4-16 Mil-XT as I’m looking for something a little shorter and lighter for a 223 gas gun.

Suppressors Galled muzzle threads taking thunderbeast brake off. Had used hi heat red locktite

I was told to use red hi temp locktite for my tbas brake to keep rhe brake from coming off with the ultra 7. That worked but I took the brake off, which took a bunch of force. The threads on muzzle and inside the brake galled up a little bit.

Should I have heated it up first with small torch or is red hi heat locktite the wrong product

Air rifle questions

My old Crosman is worn out & can't cut the mustard anymore.
So I'm forced to enter the moderately priced (<$1000) air gun market to take care of some small vermin around the house.

1. Can a guy leave a PCP style air rifle like a Benjamin Marauder pressurized for a couple days to take care of a quick target of opportunity ?

2. Would the .22 cal pellet give a guy the best combination of accuracy, velocity, energy, availability/selection and cost ?

I have a budget limit of about $600-700 and pretty much have narrowed the search down to:

Benjamin Marauder_ - First choice
Seneca Sumatra 2500 - Second choice
or
Beeman R9
Air Venturi Avenger
HatsanBullboss QE

Am I way off in my thinking on this, I know More $$$ can buy better, but this just a pellet gun....LOL
Amazon or Walmart seems to have decent prices but I hear Wallyworld has a no return policy ?
Might just stick with PyramydAir or Airgundepot

Would anyone have an issue buying a used gun, ie seals, mechanism, action/barrel wear etc ?

Thanks

Gunsmithing Last couple days.

I don't get prints or models on this stuff. I get handed an artifact part and the party starts from there. Late yesterday afternoon the tree started to bear fruit.

BMW 328i xDrive Your Thoughts

Looking at possibly getting a 2008 thru 2012 BMW 328i xDrive. There are a few of these for sale in my area and I'm looking to get a car for my wife.
She is a low mileage driver. Her main concerns are heated seat and 4-wheel drive. I am somewhat of a car guy, so I would like to get her something other than an econobox. I have never owned a German automobile.

The cars that I am seeing in my price range, ($10-$14K.) seem to have around 100k. miles.
Anyone have firsthand experience with this model?
Is 100k. miles that big of a deal if the car was taken care of?
Useful opinions welcomed. I have never bought a used car with 100k. miles already on it, that's a bit of a sticking point for me.

Not Bartlein Barrels

Guys I cannot tell you how many now this year but just had another customer send in barrels that are not ours. In the attached pic....the customer bought components (along with actions) and think the shop he bought them from did all the gunsmithing work. Shop recommended our blanks and customer went with it. Guns don't shoot. So customer calls us up and sends the barrels in for inspection.

The 30cal barrel is a button rifled barrel. Has 5 grooves but not 5R rifling.

The 7mm barrel is a 6 groove. We don't do 6 groove rifling on 7mm's. 4 groove or 5R only.

If you are buying guns sight unseen and or components and getting the machined work done before you receive the components. Especially if you are dealing with a shop you've never dealt with before......ask for the s/n of the barrel. It's stamped on the breech face of the barrel and gets lost when the threading and chamber work gets done. If you know the s/n you can always call us and confirm if it's ours or not. Also if you buy the barrel from us the s/n will be on your invoice as well. Record the s/n for your records.

Also most barrel makers don't s/n they're barrels. If the shop says there is no s/n tread lightly.

I bum for the customer because he is out money and has guns that don't shoot and we've got to be the bad guy to break the news to the customer when this happens.

I've even received complete guns in this year where the customer complained they wouldn't shoot etc...and upon inspecting the gun and trying to figure out what is going on we find out not our stick on the gun.

One shop and I won't mention names sent me not one...not two but six 30cal barrels all chambered in 300wm and the complaint was they don't shoot and need the barrels replaced. So when the barrels got here and I looked at them.....and I called the guy up and told him I'm not replacing them! He asked why? I said for starters they are button rifled. Second... I said they are all 6 groove 30cal barrels. We don't make 6 groove 30cal barrels. I looked up his past orders and they only ever bought 4 grooves from us and not a lot of them. Not a steady customer. So either they kept the barrels for themselves and bought cheaper 30cal 6 groove barrels from another shop and tried to pass them off as ours and tried to get them replaced.

Later, Frank

Lapua....

So admititedly, I can be somewhat of a grammar nazi at times, but not so much when it comes to pronunciation, but I just watched a video, and the way the guy pronounced Lapua sounded weird to me. He pronounced it Lap-Wah. I've only ever heard La-poo-uh.
It's like when I had my shop back in the day, and everyone said Lee-Uh-Pold. I wouldn't correct anyone, but I would pronounce it Loo-Pold, and that's pretty much how I hear it today
What's the consensus here?

Diesel fuel shortage

I'm hearing from all over that there is only *about* 3 weeks worth of diesel fuel out there right now, and that it's not going to change soon.
I could drop about 19 youtube video links, Fox, Cnn, BBC, etc, but why ?
I'm assuming y'all have heard about this already.....haven't you ?
So....any tips other than making sure your tank is full ?
